Hi Michael, I just want to let you know how much I appreciate the outstanding Algonquin Park Winter Photo Tour of this last weekend. A small group of photographers with a friendly guide who knows the place like his back pocket is a fantastic recipe for success. I certainly look forward to another tour with you and your company. Sincerely, Pierre W

Hi Michael, Just writing to thank you for an awesome workshop. You not only gave me a few game-changing photography tips and ideas to ponder,but also offered many essential and helpful hints to consider when shooting wildlife in particular. You take the time to answer any question, big or small. There was one particular event that sticks out in my mind. It was when I successfully captured that redpoll on the tree-top perch. You saw the image in my viewfinder, grabbed my shoulders and were genuinely as excited as me. It is heartwarming to see that after all the years you have been doing this and after seeing thousands upon thousands of redpolls, it has not gotten old for you! As you know, I have been on quite a few tours/workshops in the recent past, but have yet to meet anyone who truly cared that we all got "the shot" ...until yesterday! You are one of a kind. And I am not just saying all of this to butter you up so you will save me a spot on your moose and Costa Rica Tours. LOL I look forward to our next adventure together!!Patti L
